The French from France really got into the machine age.....

B - Composer Arthur Honneger wrote in 1923 a piece called "Pacific 231" or "Mouvement Symphonique #1". Inspired by

1 - An airplane
2 - A railway locomotive
3 - A long-distance telephone call
4 - A fast passenger ship

G - Inspired by the simple beauty of the industrial age, this company's "signature" products were simply named "5" and "17". (Plus the name of the company...)

I got nuthin'

[ontellen]

An airplane

Chanel

[christie1111]

1923?

A plane

Chanel?

[etaoin22]

well. lets wrap up.

Pacific 231 is inspired by a railway locomotive.

The confusing thing, maybe, is that in Europe steam locos were classified by the number of wheels on one side, but in North America the reference was o both sides.

counting the small wheels at the front, then the driving wheels. then the small wheels under the cab.

so Pacific 231 in France would be a 4-6-2 in North America. I think also Pacific is a reference to Canadian Pacific which built hundreds, but I am not sure.

And of course, Chanel.

[christie1111]

I got one half!

Yay me!

[etaoin22]

and millions of points for effort, all, which is OK since I really didnt feel like trying to pencil up tabs of scores.

Gotta be the ship.

Chanel perfume. Every woman alive wants Chanel #5.

[T_Bone0806]

Hmm. I have of course heard of Chanel No. 5 but dint know about 17.

Never wore either, y'know!

Although, considering how badly I stunk up the joint with my answers, I should probably slap on a little aftershave.

Or at least break out the Glade...

In that case, I...uhhh...got 'em ALL right.

Yeah, that's the ticket...
